Anyway there's an article on the site too. She's basically coming in as the second video producer

is Jason basically retired at this point? He doesn't do anything other than say maybe 20 words total on the bombcasts he's on.

I haven't been watching GB content in general for a while so not sure who she is, but she seemed good on the State of Play watchthrough.

And I have BT blocked like a true American, but anything that makes him mad is good.

I honestly have not watched any Giant Bomb content since the main crew left, besides seeing the voidburger and Jeff Grubb shows just so I could understand how awful these people are. I haven't even been listening to the bombcast lately, as they brought back Ben "I'm a tall fucking idiot" Pack and have shuffled Danny off to the side.

Nextlander is far superior

I enjoy nextlander's Podcast content but I rarely watch any of their videos usually because they don't really play any games I'm interested in. I would rather they play newer stuff instead of old games that patrons vote for. Them playing shadowgate recently it was actually one of the few times I was like oh here's a game I actually would enjoy watching people play

But I'm also just kinda over the old man brad gimmick at this point. He was already getting kind of unbearable his last year at giant bomb but it's just continued into nextlander

Well, as a man in his mid 30's, I relate far more to the crotchety old guys that actually play and enjoy video games, than the fake "youtuber personality" Gen-Z/Millenial shitlords like Abby/Ben that see gaming as an "aesthetic" rather than a hobby to enjoy.

For instance, why does Giant Bomb no longer run their gaming focused series like Ranking of Fighters, Game Tapes, Demo Derby or any of the West-coast era Dan content? Because the new owners want them to be "hip" and "cool" to appeal to GenZ Twichchat zombies because they have no vision and would rather do what thousands of "influencers" are trying to do rather than fill the more niche market Giant Bomb was dominating 5-10 years ago.

Yet you act more immature than both your age and those younger talents

Maybe once you reach my age you'll figure out how to grow up a little

i dont understand the characterization of Ben at all. nothing Ive seen from him suggests hes not just as into games as anyone else there
and hes barely younger than you, hes like 31. I think Abbys the only person who appears on the site who isnt at least 30 at this point.

To be honest every single (not in a relationship) gamer should be envious of SHINE
The time he spends playing video games and how quick he Platinum's them is impressive. He is also working in a full time job so it's not like he is a NEET or anything

I wish I could do that too but instead I waste my time here

What the hell are you talking about? My beef has nothing to do with gender, and everything to do with the style of bullshit/shallow "influencer" personalities. Abby sucks, Ben sucks, Voidburger sucks, and all 3 are dumb millennials that don't play video games that don't contribute to their "schtick".

Or did everyone conveniently forget the last 10 months Abby was on the Beastcast where every week she would just say "Oh I didn't play anything new this week, BUT FORTNITE IS RLY COOL GUIS RIGHT!?"

what's a "bullshit/shallow 'influencer' personality"?
why does it matter that they're millennials?

Honestly this is a good time to say once again that the gatekeeping Abby got was horrendous. She played more games than basically everybody else on the site and was basically the only person to try out all the new releases whatever they were, and it wasnt even her main job to fo that since she was a producer. There was literally no basis in reality for the Abby doesnt play games crap, it was entirely down to her age and gender.

And Voidburger is literally part of the same online cohort that we all are.

It really makes you think, given the lack of factual basis for BTs complaints, why it is that every woman and young person (or worse yet, a young woman) is targeted for his whining, and why I havent seen a post from him in months thats not doing that. Could it be internal biases and discrimination? No waaaaaaaaaaay so shocking!
